There is a wide range of information available on the environmental impacts of the lithium-ion battery lifecycle from different LCA studies. However, the complexity of the lithium-ion battery value chain and a wide variation in the composition and design, as well as lack of primary data for industrial scale, amongst other, has caused a wide variety in the reported values for carbon

Lithium-ion batteries have been identified as the most environmentally benign amongst BESS . However, there is little consensus on their life cycle GWP impacts requiring further LCA study as this paper offers. 2. Literature Review for the Technical and Environmental Performances of BESS
Life cycle assessment (LCA) literature evaluating environmental burdens from lithium-ion battery (LIB) production facilities lacks an understanding of how environmental burdens have changed over time due to a transition to large-scale production.
By providing a nuanced understanding of the environmental, economic, and social dimensions of lithium-based batteries, the framework guides policymakers, manufacturers, and consumers toward more informed and sustainable choices in battery production, utilization, and end-of-life management.
Life cycle assessment (LCA) of lithium-oxygen Li−O 2 battery showed that the system had a lower environmental impact compared to the conventional NMC-G battery, with a 9.5 % decrease in GHG emissions to 149 g CO 2 eq km −1 .
Another study also underscored the potential environmental benefits of lithium-air cells over time, including 4–9 times less climate impact compared to today's lithium-ion cells, and the potential avoidance of 10–30 % of production-related environmental impact through recycling.
The results show that in all selected categories, the secondary use of EV LIBs has less environmental impact than the use of lead-acid batteries. EVs are being called "zero-emission" vehicles, but there is a new argument for that common belief.
